Tonight not hard, soft or medium brexit, is a reverse now looking like a possibility . Join me now on bbc two. Here on bbc one, its time for the news where you are. Hello and welcome to sportsday im hugh ferris. The headlines tonight. A 100 record in the heat. Andy murray leads four british players through to the third round at wimbledon. Johanna konta battles through three sets and more than three hours to seal her place in round three. And Warren Gatland keeps faith with his 15. The lions coach names an Unchanged Team for their deciding test against the all blacks on saturday. Hello. Welcome to the programme. Four out of four british players taking to the Wimbledon Courts today left them with a place in the third round. And they were led by the defending champion. Andy murray breezed through on a very hot day at the all england club. He made just five unforced errors on his way to a straight sets victory over germanys dustin brown. Adam wild was watching. At wimbledon these days, they come less in hope, more in expectation. Nobody draws the crowds quite like andy murray on centre court, and with that comes a certain pressure. A moment of calm before that heat. In his way, dustin brown, few more recognisable, few with a tennis style more eye catching. Murray, though, has the game to match. This was going to be entertaining. Oh, that is brilliant. Pleasing this crowd is what murray does best, and he would have to be at his best if he was to stop many more shots like this. Oh, wow, that was awesome on this cold, murray is battle hardened. This tennis court. The first set was won with a mighty ace, but the celebrations muted, at least for the moment. It took until the second set for the world number one to find the shots that have brought in such success. This is what they had all come to see. Two sets down, but brown was farfrom done. Hes one of the games great entertainers, but he is also very much more than that. The delight for those watching on, clear to see. Still, these are the occasions that bring out the champion in murray. Unplayable brilliance steered him to the brink of the win. And finally, browns dazzling touch deserted him when it mattered. Murray, through. Centre court was royally entertained. Once i got the break in the first set, i felt the momentum was with me. I saw the shots he was going to play a little bit quicker, and that allowed me to get to some of the drop volleys but also come up with some good passing shots, and i played well. So an easy day for andy murray. Not so Johanna Konta. She needed three sets and more than three hours to overcome croatias donna vekic. Joe lynskey was watching this one. Her rise through the rankings has put konta to centre. For brits at wimbledon, prominence brings pressure. The last ladies home champion was a0 years ago, but kontas path to round 3 would not be straightforward. Donna vekic beat her on grass just weeks ago in nottingham. She is only 21, but she has the skills to be a superpower. Konta was having to fight for early parity. A large battle of wills going on out there between two very determined athletes. A first set tie break felt critical. Konta found a way to seize the advantage. But the brit had the same winning possession when these two last met. She knows donna vekic has the tools to make a comeback. The croatians energy brought out the extraordinary. What poise it forced this match to a deciding set. With so little between them, every service game, pressure. Beyond three hours and beyond 12 games, every stride had to be worth it. You sense millimetres are going to decide the outcome of this match. To force the opportunity, konta had to dig deep. Break points were so rare, so take them. What a battle, what resilience. It isjust a nice feeling now not having to keep going out there. We were out there for a long time, and both of us battled incredibly hard, so whoever was going to come out. Whoever was going to draw the short straw was going to be hurting, and obviously, i feel very fortunate to have come to that. To the third round for the first time, Butjohanna Konta has high hopes for here. They have waited a0 years for a home champion, and they know never comes easy. Heather watson took just 19 minutes to win the first set of her match against 18th seed anastasija sevastova. An impressive 6 0 6 4 victory sets up a third round match with former world number one victoria azarenka. While aljaz bedene also won to make it four british players through to round three. Rafael nadals impressive run of form continues. He swept aside the American World number 43 donald young on centre court. He won in straight sets to reach round three. But Petra Kvitova is out. Her first wimbledon since suffering a hand injury during an attack at her home came to an end in the second round. The two time champion losing in three sets to Madison Brengle of the usa. The British And Irish Lions have named an unchanged side for their deciding test against new zealand on saturday in auckland. Coach Warren Gatland has kept faith with the team that levelled the series in wellington last weekend. Lets head to auckland now and speak to katie gornall. I guess that gatland will be hoping for the same team and the same result . He will indeed. Its interesting because last week, graham rowntree, the assistant coach, hinted that players may be playing for their places because of the ill discipline in the second test in wellington. We felt that vunipola might be vulnerable. Watching training in oueenstown, Liam Williams and trained. We thought he might have a doubt over his fitness but gatland has named an unchanged 23 for the deciding test in auckland, keeping faith with those players which is a very rare thing to do. The first time in a personal era where we have not seen a change from test to test. Brian odriscoll was sensationally dropped in australia quite a years ago for The Final Test but gatland said he wa nted The Final Test but gatland said he wanted to reward the players for the courage they showed in wellington for coming from behind against the all blacks and he said this was a chance for them to make history. The all blacks naming their team one hour before the lions and they have made changes . This is a surprise, three changes, steve hansen overhauling his back line. Ioane has been dropped. He brings in geordie barrett, 20 years old at full back, making his debut for the all blacks. The younger brother of beauden barrett. Also coming in, julian sevilla, surprisingly left out of the first test, on the wing. And because Sonny Bill Williams is and for this test because of that Shoulder Charge on anthony watson, mape comes in. Hope that there is victory for the all blacks who havent lost at eden park since 1994. Everyone is talking about the backlash, how new zealand are going to respond to the rare defeat they suffered. If the lions do it it will be the first time they have won a series in new zealand since 1971. Thank you forjoining us. Arsenal have broken their Transfer Record to sign france striker alexandre lacazette. The deal was completed this afternoon, with lacazette joining the gunners for a fee of £46. 5 million on a five year contract. That could go up to as much as 52. 5 million. No crashes or controversy on The Fifth Stage of the Tour De France as we saw yesterday with mark cavendishs broken shoulder and peter sagans expulsion. But theres a new leader and a familiar one as ben croucher reports. The Tour De France can be deceptive. Lurking behind such picturesque panoramas, the shortest stage of the week. The first climb to test this years main contenders. A ferocious pace in the french heat. Many of Chris Froomes main rivals wilted. But not the italian champion, aru, a lead that even sky couldnt live with. This gradient of up to 20 for a stunning summit victory, the real race was behind, as chris froome outsprinted all but dan martin to take third place. A handful of bonus seconds. He overtook an exhausted greg thomas, who slips back to second. The last two men to don the yellowjersey here have gone on to win in paris, and this is the prettiest picture for chris froome. Thats all from sportsday. Coming up in a moment, the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

Also a picture of a victorious Johanna Konta who won a hard fought match to get to the third round of wimbledon. Surviving the flying ants hart lets kick off. This story about care homes in the daily telegraph, dominating a couple of papers. Yes, the care quality commissions report looking at the standard of care in care homes and some of the results are quite shocking. One in four of them seem to have a disparity, some say it is one in three, saying that they are u nsafe one in three, saying that they are unsafe and that poor leadership and Staff Shortages mean that residence ina Staff Shortages mean that residence in a quarter of facilities are going weeks without being cleaned and are served Dangerous Levels of medication which sounds particularly shocking. Social care has been a story that has never been far from the front pages over the last couple of months and years because there has been an historic underfunding of social care. And during the election campaign. With the dementia tax. One thing with this crisis, the introduction of the National Living wage which has put pressure on care homes and has put a number out of business because they havent been able to afford to exist. Labour are going to play politics with the report and say it puts rocket fuel under what they have said, that the issue of social care and its Funding Issue of social care and its funding is something the government is not very keen to want to talk about given the Dementia Care row.
